A gloom was cast over the Christmas

killed by the 10 m, south bound train on

the greenhouses of Mr.. John Robinson at
st. Asaph's junction. He was walking up
the tracks OF the Virginia Midland railroad
when he saw train coming which he sup
posed was ON the same track on which he
was walking. He stepped over to the A. y
+. track, which meets the Virginia Midland
at that point, when he was struck and In
stantly killed. His remains were so terribly
mangIed that the different parts OF his body
had to be taken up 10 shovels, and after
being placed In sheet were deposited In a
small box and taken to Alexandria. His
head was mashed to jelly, and when the
engine, which was 10 charge of Engineer
Desmond, reached the city large portion
Of the mau's brains were found on the front
part OF 1t. The engineer stated that he
blew his whistle several times and endeav.
ored to stop his train, which at the time was
going at a high rate Of speed, but he did
not succeed In time TO cave the mans life.
Mr.. Desmond was terribly overcome by the

GEO LOGICAL SURVEY REPORT
a Volume Of Interesting Statistics and
Conclusions.

The United States geological survey,
Mai. Powell director, has Issued the stalls
tics OF the production Of minerals during
1856, in volume entitled "SIneral Re-
sources OF the United States, 1886" The
report gives primarily the production and
value OF every prominent mineral substance
mined in the United States, and In addition
to compact statement OF prices,
sources OF supply and the technical
matters which proved important during
the year. 1t appears that the total
value OF the mineral products, taken as
nearly as possible at the points OF produc-
tion, was more than s465, 900, 900, the largest
mineral production yet recorded In any
country. In 1885 there was. about S42o,-
OCO, eco. Many substances shared In this
increate, but particularly iron and steel,
which alone showed an increase OF $780, ,0O0,-
600. In 1886 bituminous coal was the most
valuable mineral product, but In 1885 II
was passed by pig iron, which had
higher total value than silver
and gold combined. Wonderful progress
is shown in the use Of natural gas, the con.
sumption being more than double that OF
1885 II is estimated that the value Of the
coal displaced by natural:gas in 1886 was
| more than 50, 900. This is slightly less
| than half the value OF the petroleum.
| The report has been under the charge
| of David T. Day, and is re-
markably complete and creditable pro-
duction. 1t is made especially valuable by
the work Of many prominent authorities on
mineral statistics. The special chapter on
| iron was prepared by Mr. James NJ. Swank,
| general manager Of the American Iron and
Steel Association. Mr.. Charles a. Ash
burner contributes a chapter on coal. Mr.. G..
Kirchhoif, jr., writes on copper, lead, and
zine. The statistics on natural gas, pc
troltum, coke, and manganese were col,
lecttd by Mr. Joseph ID. Weeks. DIR. VIM
O. Day, OF SwOthmrre College, compiled o
valuable table showing the relative prog
ress in building 10 the princlp,l cities. Mr..
George f. Kunz, Of Tiffany & Co., gives
an interesting statement OF the production
OF American gems, including diamond from
North Carolina. More than htty industries
are considered In the report, and they show
that the year was generally prosperous in
spite of unusual labor Disturbances.
1t should be stated that this report can
be obtained by any Que with unusual facility

For month past The Washington Cjnti.
nentals, Capt Mills, have been arranging
for the reception OF Company d, lst reci-
ment, Virginia National Guard, OF Rich
mond, Va. Letters and kilograms were re.
ceived stating that the company would
reach here on Christmas day and remain
five or six days. This gladdened the hearts
Of the Contlnentals, as they had twice been
the guests Of the Richmond soldiers, and
the handsome receptions they received
made them the more eager to give In re-
turn something as cordial II not superior.
Accordingly the Continentals were
at their armory at o O. IN. yesterday
in readiness TO meet their visitors, and
an hour later they were at the
Virginians did not arrive at that hour It
was concluded that the de patch meant that
they would arrive at the depot at p. m.
During the afternoon the boys, who were
kept In the armory all day long, were
cheered up by another dispatch stating that
company d would leave on the I p. m. train
and arrive here about four hours later.
Lieut.. Ludwig marched his command 70 the
depot, headed by drum corps, and there
they were met by Capt. Mills, who left the
bedside Of two sick children so as to par
ticipate in the welcome. The train from
Richmond rolled In on time, but company
+ d did not materialize, nor was there any
explanation for their absence. Capt. Mills
ordered his men back to the armory, and 10
few words thanked them for their attend
ance and good attention and obedience to
orders. He expressed regrets at the disap-
pointment they felt and the great expense
they had been put to. He could give NO
reafon for the non. appearance OF The Vir-
giniane. The boys then filed down Into the
supper room and partook OF the sumptuous
repast intended for the visitors.
There was no excuse offered for the fall
ufe OF the visitors to appear except a
rumor that The company commander of the
Richmond soldiers had forgotten the dc
sired permission to leave the state. The
boys OF the Continentals felt very much
agprieved at the treatment they had re-
ceiyed,

notorious colorei despera 10 named Henry
Fortune, who has but recently returned
from the pepitentiary. The latter was
found In the alley acting 10 drunken aud
disorderly manner and the officer placed
MIN under arrest. BY some means Fortune
got loose from Dents grip and ran like
deer up the alley, followed closely by his
pursuer The fugitive made a turn up a
branch Of the alley and dsrted intohis sisters
house. AS he went out the bick door
the policeman entered the front door. He
had hardly got into the place when sew
eral omen obstructed him, and he was
compelled TO fight Ia order to get out the
rear way. He at length succeeded, but
hardly got into the yard when Fortune
threw brick at him, striking him on the
side Of the bead, making a terrible cash,
and knocking him senseless. The assailaut
then fed. Some Of Dents fellow-oflicers
heard OF bis trouble and went to his as
sistance as quickly as possible. The In

DR.. Snyder attended him. Late last night
bis condition was quite serious, and the

THE BITING OF POVERTY
Drives Dependent Mother to Attempt
Suicide.

A piteous story was heard last night
about o respectable and hard working
woman living ON Ninth street, 10 the vlcln-
ity Of Boundary, who attempted suicide
last Friday by taking arsenic. Hard luck
had come upon her and the little work she
had failed to pay the months rent She
became very despondent sand feared that
her household would be turned out OF
doors. AS she is woman OF great SEN
titiveness her mind gave way under
the strain, and In an unfortunate
moment she determined to die rather than
brave the shame and disgrace that would
follow her eviction and took poison. The
act was. discovered by a friend who hap
pened to enter the house shortly after the
woman took. the drug. A wellknown
physician was summoned and his skill
saved the unfortunate ones life. Efforts
were made by kind hearted people who
were informed Of the facts in the case to
do something for the woman, and her
Christmas was probably made brighter for
her than che expected 1t to be.
